Is this normal?? I had just filled my tank I drove home and when I got here I noticed one less bar odometer reads 12.6 miles.
Ouch. I'm not sure how long the Mazda 2 takes to break in completely (bought mine sorta used) but I would probably take it to the dealer.
Break in.....wait.....what........I've been driving mine racekar mode since day one.
I understand the thought behind the "keeping the fuel pump submerged keeps it cool," but wouldn't the fuel constantly running through the pump keep it cool? Maybe keeping it submerged keeps it even cooler or something.
If the pump is fast it will click off with about 1 gallon to be added. And the bar will tick off in 10-15 miles. If the pump is slower, it will be able to take another .25-.50 gallons.
Do not try to top off too much as this will cause problems with the recovery system (evaporative). I usually do first click and one more. My bar changes after 25-40 miles depending of driving cycle.
